Two old friends took a stroll on the pier
One was straight, one was queer
One was named Joe and the other one Ben

Two old friends took a stroll on the pier
One was straight, one was queer
One was named Joe and the other one Ben
They’d been together for years - and then . .

Two old friends took a stroll on the pier
One was straight, one was queer
One was named Joe and the other one Ben
They’d been together for years - and then . .
Ben dropped down dead, oh dear!

Joe was shocked, and started to weep

Joe was shocked, and started to weep
Hed sobbed all night, and couldn’t sleep

Joe was shocked, and started to weep
Hed sobbed all night, and couldn’t sleep
When he rose the next day

He’d sobbed all night, and couldn’t sleep
When he rose the next day
He went to meet Kay

Joe was shocked, and started to weep
He’d sobbed all night ,and couldn’t sleep
When he rose the next day
He went to meet Kay
And fell at her feet in a heap

ā€œGet up,said Kay don’t lie thereā€

ā€œGet up,said Kay don’t lie thereā€
"Everyone is stopping to stare

ā€œGet up,said Kay don’t lie thereā€
"Everyone is stopping to stare
ā€œBut I’m bereftā€, wailed Joe

"Everyone is stopping to stare
ā€œBut I’m bereftā€, wailed Joe
ā€œAnd I’ve nowhere to goā€

ā€œGet up, said Kay don’t lie thereā€
"Everyone is stopping to stare
ā€œBut I’m bereftā€, wailed Joe
ā€œAnd I’ve nowhere to goā€
ā€œCan’t I just sleep in your chair?ā€

ā€œNo you can’t, man - get a gripā€

ā€œNo you can’t, man - get a gripā€
ā€œNo. I’m staying here, I need a kipā€

ā€œNo you can’t, man - get a gripā€
ā€œNo. I’m staying here, I need a kipā€
And with that he plonked down

ā€œNo you can’t, man - get a gripā€
ā€œNo. I’m staying here, I need a kipā€
And with that he plonked down
And Kay gave a frown

No you can’t, man - get a grip"
ā€œNo. I’m staying here, I need a kipā€
And with that he plonked down
And Kay gave a frown
For she’d planned to go on a trip.

ā€œThen you’re on your own, I’m off outā€

ā€œThen you’re on your own, I’m off outā€
You’ll be here on my return no doubt

ā€œThen you’re on your own, I’m off outā€
You’ll be here on my return no doubt
While I’m gone there’s housework you can do

ā€œThen your on your own, I’m off outā€
You’ll be here on my return no doubt
While I’m gone there’s housework you can do
and don’t forget about the loo

ā€œThen your on your own, I’m off outā€
You’ll be here on my return no doubt
While I’m gone there’s housework you can do
and don’t forget about the loo
There’s some tiling needing some grout

But comfy, he fell asleep

But comfy, he fell asleep
Laying there counting sheep
